Stem cells derived during the first week of human development - human embryonic stem (HES) cells - are particularly promising because these so-called pluripotent cells can differentiate into any tissue of the body. 3, record 1, English, - human%20embryonic%20stem%20cell

L'un des points cruciaux pour la recherche était la très attendue autorisation de travailler sur les cellules souches embryonnaires humaines(hES). Ces cellules isolées à partir de la masse interne de blastocystes(et provenant donc, stricto sensu d’embryons), auraient vraisemblablement des propriétés de pluripotence comme leurs homologues murins, et seraient ainsi capables de donner origine à tout type cellulaire. 1, record 1, French, - cellule%20souche%20embryonnaire%20humaine
